Salem (Div. III)

Salem (Div. III)

Head Coach: Bill Miller, second year (1-9)

Coaching Staff: Dale Mitchell, DC/LB/OL; Rich Washinko, OC/QB; Landon Heath, WR/DB; Nate Boyd, OL/DL; Nick Rubenstall, LB/TE.

Offensive/defensive Formations: Multiple I on offense, 3-4 on defense

Outlook: With 19 returning lettermen and 13 returning starters, the Quakers aren't as young and inexperienced as they were last year, but they're not ready to compete for a league title. Two-year letterman Zac O'Brien will play quarterback alongside senior tailback Austen Hutton, also a two-year letterman. The five lineman all have experience, and there's experience on defense, too. Whether that translates into more wins remains to be seen.

Returning Lettermen: Wisler, Hutton, Merryman, Pasquinelli, Ball, O'Brien, Stewart, Holland, Cosgrove, Boggs, Adamson.
